Lack of Impact Takes 24/7 Off Track
Vangaurde Neomedia’s Impact 24/7 newsletter and complementary website has been on hiatus of late, publishing erratically while a division-wide restructuring takes place. The restructuring has also affected Sidehustle, their job-listing site that also has stopped publishing. Impact’s newsletter started off strong, culling items from various media sources and press releases and encapsulating them into a digestible format with the hopes that urban entertainment executives would sign up in a mad rush for it. It didn’t quite work out that way.

The Illustrated Guide To The Fall Of Blaze
Once upon a time, back when Russell Simmons still made rap records; the music industry was abuzz with anticipation for Vibe's spin-off magazine Blaze. The competition was shook…until the first issue came out.

Adam Kidron and UBO to Reorganize; These Are The Days Of Our Lives.
UBO is desperately looking for 11th hour financing. They are shopping around a company that has no real plans for revenue generation, a ton of faltering properties, and off the shelf cold fusion scripts. UBO's content amounts to a few flash highly derivative cartoons, log rolled restaurant reviews and pictures of finger waves. They are so desperate; they had to go to the desert to find financing, however it may be just a mirage.

How Tragic Will the Internet Be For UrbanMagic?
Earlier this year the press became very excited when Earvin Magic Johnson announced that he would launch a well funded urban lifestyle/entertainment web property with inexperienced executives. With no new ideas, technology or content Magic declared that he would capture the urban Internet audience using the power of his name. The website is called UrbanMagic.com, a clever hybrid derived by tacking the word urban onto his nickname. It sounds more like a low-budget version of David Blaine's act then a web-based business.

88hiphop On The Highway To Heaven.
Randy Nkonoki-Ward and Mark Kotlinski started 88hiphop on a 900 number. They found the ultimate partner in Pseudo. For a 50 percent stake in 88hiphop, Randy and Mark now drew 6 figure salaries, access to a studio, web servers to stream content, and a staff to control. The possibilities seemed endless after some key successes and the deep pockets of Pseudo backing it up. All things are not as they seem, as the well eventually ran dry.
